Bremond MacDougall and Lisa Cooper - Giving Old Books New Life

Quite Literally Books co- founders Bremond Berry MacDougall and Lisa Endo Cooper published on November 7th: Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (best known for her short story "The Yellow Wallpaper"), Who Would Have Thought It? by María Ruiz de Burton (the first known Mexican American author to write for English-speaking audiences), and The Little Dinner by Christine Terhune Herrick (think of her as a a 19th-century Martha Stewart).

Quite Literally Books is a women-owned small press whose mission is to reprint forgotten books by American women authors. They're dedicated to creating new editions of these ought-to-be in print books and, in doing so, hope to be a part of ongoing conversations about essential questions of belonging and the American literary canon: Who is included? And who gets to decide?
